If you miss today's show, you miss history in the making.  We started the show with the idea that we will focus on #geeksandtoys  and as usual, everyone had prepared their own slides.  Halfway through the show, we realized that we would never be able to get to anyone else's slides.  We spend more than an hour talking about only what +Christian Reyes had learned from the recent #mobileworldcongress .  So next week we will play a new game, combining Russian roulette and musical chairs.  +Christian Reyes will point his finger and decide whose slide to present but everyone would have to be equally prepared.

Why I Stopped Using Facebook Events and switched to Google+ Events
> See full article at http://goo.gl/2khqS 
 
Facebook events seem to pale in comparison to Google+ events.  I've planned countless events in both, and the Google+ events have better results.

For example, if you look at the upcoming Austin SXSW Photowalk event in Google+ at http://goo.gl/x6wta , we have well over 500 people RSVP'd for the event.  Compare this to the PhotoWalk I put as an event in Facebook for Paris (a much bigger city) at http://goo.gl/6jBQg a few months ago where a very lame 19 people RSVP'd.  I mean, the people weren't lame.  The number is.  

Now, I have 430,000 subscribers on FB compared to over 4.5 million Google+.  So that is could be part of it, but I don't think so.  I know that a bunch of those 430,000 subscribers from Facebook LIVE in NewYork City ... more »

Why I'm not unplugging.

Today at sunset, we're all supposed to unplug for 24 hours. It's called the National Day of Unplugging. 

Screw that. I'm not unplugging jack squat. Here's why. 

Organizers say the purpose of the Unplugging is to "start living a different life: connect with the people in your street, neighborhood and city, have an uninterrupted meal or read a book to your child." 

I don't want to live "a different life." I was born in the 1960s. I spent most of my life "unplugged." Yet I'm young enough to understand what being "unplugged" means. It means ignorance, wasted time, wasted opportunities and being a prisoner to time and place.

I've travelled all over the world, and have seen how the majority of people on this planet live -- unplugged. If only they couldaff... more »

The Wintel duopoly of the past has been replaced by Goople, a frenemy between Google and Apple.  But in this year's Mobile World Congress, we have seen lots of candidates competing for the distant third place.  These contenders include Microsoft, Nokia, Samsung, HTC, etc., all working to establish themselves as the alternative.  In addition, the rumors are running strong for Nexus Pixel and iWatch.  This Saturday our editors and special guests will be sharing their wet dreams.  As always, may the geek with the biggest toy win.

As Casey (+Emory Mullis) said after the show, the days when parents could protect their kids by simply saying NO are over.  This is especially true with Internet.  What makes #cybersafetyforkids  an even more difficult subject is that most parents themselves are not familiar with the danger and the proper safety measures.  It would be like teaching our kids gun safety when we ourselves have no such knowledge or worse yet, when we don't even believe in having free access to such devices.  This is an important and interesting topic and one worthy of continuing discussion.  To that end, we have started a Google community (https://plus.google.com/communities/107319400778066455694).  Please join and allow us to educate each other.

Google's early April fools joke, or is it?

Today Google unceremoniously announced the Chromebook Pixel, a $1500.00 dollar Chromebook and in one swoop, erased years of fan boy admiration and praise for the Chromebook line.

The echoes around the interwebs are unanimous. "Cool, but not worth it for chrome OS" are the comments I see more often.

This device would seem plausible at, or below $700 but for $1300.00, the cheapest model (without LTE and without the 64GB hard drive) is hard to justify.

Oh my.

A famous entrepreneur +Guy Kawasaki once said that the only two reasons to start a business is to 1) right a wrong, or 2) prevent the end of something good.  Only then, would we have the passion and clarity to endure the constant setbacks and rejections.  Casey (+Emory Mullis) did a wonderful presentation today talking about cyber investigation and law enforcement.  He asked a simple question: How far would you go to prove someone's innocence or to prosecute a known criminal (especially a child pornographer or child molester)?  The answer is simple, "You never give up.  You dig and dig until the Facts meet the Truth!"  Computer forensics is much more than a technical challenge.  We can't afford bystanders when our children's future is at stake.

Downloading all photos from an event

One of my favorite parts about Google+ Events is how it puts everyone's event photos into a single, shared album. Many of you have asked for the option to download all of these photos, all at once, and today we're excited to launch precisely this feature!

Simply visit your event page on the desktop, click 'Actions,' then click 'Download event photos.' And voila. Let us know what you think in the comments.

Entrepreneurs know how important it is to build company culture.  We succeed when we could identify corporate memory outlasting even the founders.  America is a great country with a simple corporate memory which is that anything is possible if you put your mind to it.  This Saturday we have the opportunity to interview an unlikely American success story.  +Mike Le was born in Vietnam and was just a baby when his parents escaped the communists as boat people.  He grew up in a typical immigrant family but decided to drop out of college and drove across the country to fulfill his passion of being a screenwriter.  Most recently, he was the creator and co-producer of K-Town, a game changing realty TV series produced by the Youtube LOUD channel.

I am in the States this year both teaching at Columbia Univ and building Fon USA. I am currently recruiting a full time head Fon USA. The candidate has to have significant experience developing and selling telecom/internet services in the USA. The position can be in NYC, Miami or maybe somewhere else if the leader is strong enough to build a team nearby where she or he is. So far we have a 3 person office in Manhattan. Comp is between $150K and $250K and stock options depending on experience. Do let me know if you know if you have a good candidate in mind!

Politics is a noble pursuit.  As entrepreneurs, we are all politicians.  Politics is about finding common ground among fellow travelers and aligning our vectors such that the coordinated sum is more than the random pieces.  The cavemen did that to survive when they had to decide who should stand in front of the pointing end of a tusk.  Starving artists did that when they had to decide whose responsibility it was to bring turpentine.  As citizens, we should all be practicing politics.  While our vote counts less and less, with Internet, our voice is more powerful than ever.  But voicing our opinion is not the same as being a jerk.  As Thumper said so eloquently  "say something nice... or don't say nothing at all."
